"Alright Mo you're taking Lily and Joe to go get there Halloween costumes." Mitchell says as we head out the door. We get to Claire's house and I head out with the children. Along with Luke and Manny. "Party City?" I ask them. "Yeah." Luke says and we head to Party City. "Alright Lily what do you wanna be?" I asked. She points to a adult outfit. It was a stripper. "Oh no Lily your size is over here." I say leading her to the kids section.

Lily decided on being a butterfly and Joe was going to be a dog. We headed home. "Where's Luke and Manny?" Alex asks me. Oops. I sigh and ask Alex if she could watch Joe and Lily. She said yes so I headed back to Party City. They weren't in the store so I went back in the car. "There you are. Geez." Luke says as I look through the mirror and see him and Manny. I scream. "What the! God. You scared me!" I say trying to catch my breath. "You left us here!" Manny argues. I roll my eyes and head back to the house.

"We are going to make this place so scary we will knock peoples underwear off!" Claire says excitedly as we hang spider webs. "Where do you want this dead bunny? It looks really realistic." I say holding it up so she could see it. "Uh..thats actually a dead bunny! Put it down!" Claire said. I drop it and cringe. "Gross!!" I shout and run inside to the bathroom. I opened the door and see Alex making out with her boyfriend. I was going to puke.

"I don't know which ones more gross." I say to the camera.

It was later that night and I had to take the kids trick or treating. They rang the door bell and I see Mrs. Hastings answer.

"She was a nice old lady that I might sometimes hang out with." I say to the camera. "She makes really good egg salad. Don't tell Claire but Mrs. Hastings salad is better."

"Oh hello Imogen. How are you?" She asked. "I'm good. Just taking the kids here trick or treating." I said. "Oh thats nice. You never told me you had kids. Well my apple pie is done. I'll see you later!" She says then closes her door. Do I look like the person that would have kids? I shrug it off and we head to another house. "Trick or treat!" The kids say. "Oh how cute are they! You and your husband make really cute kids." She tells me. Really?!

After we were finally done trick or treating we headed back to Claire's. "No joke every single house thought Joe and Lily were my kids!" I exclaim to Haley and Alex. They laugh. "Do I really look like a mother?" I ask in shock. "Kind of." Haley says. "Lily don't eat the candy yet I have to check it!" I say to her. "Oh my god I sound like one too."

"Aunt Claire. Do I look like a mom?" I asked her as she handed out candy. "You look like me when I was younger." She said. "That doesn't help. Actually it makes it worse." I said. I see one of the decorations fall so I go and fix it. "Hey you look young enough." Claire's neighbor Andrea Anders says to me. "Hey do you wanna sell some pot?" Steve Zahn her husband asks. They sold pot. "Uh..no thanks." I say and leave. "What did they want?" Claire asked. "To sell pot. But I'm kind of glad they asked me because it made me feel good about myself. It didn't make me feel like an old mother who tries to hard." I say to Claire. She had a hurt expression as I left her.

Even if you look old but your young. Not everyone will see you as old. Some will get your age and ask you to sell there pot." I say into the camera smiling.
